The Unseen | With Q&A director

Milou Rientjes, Niek Pennings
Tue 19 May 19:30

The Unseen follows three African migrants and examines their living situation in Borgo Mezzanone, one of the largest immigrant ghettos in Southern Italy, and the labor exploitation they endure.

Milou Rientjes will be present for a Q&A after the film!

They all have their own stories; reasons for leaving their country of origin and ways of coping in their current situation. Alongside these personal stories, the larger system is addressed: the exploitation, the feeling of being invisible, and the way Italy handles residence permits. They are trapped in a vicious cycle where return is impossible, yet the situation remains unbearable.
